Dimensional structure of the items from The Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire (DCSQ) used in The HUNT Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire (DCSQ) is used to measure psychosocial work environment. Nine of the original 17 DCSQ items were used in the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) in 2017-2019 (HUNT4); three items from each of the three dimensions of demand, control, and support. The goal of this paper was to assess the internal reliability and dimensional structure of the nine DCSQ items used in HUNT4.

Method

HUNT4 participants registered with an occupation, and who had responded to all DCSQ items were included in the sample. Internal reliability and consistency of the nine DCSQ items were tested using composite reliability and item total correlation. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to determine whether the nine DCSQ items used in HUNT4
